Roger Taylor

The songs of Queen are known the world over, and the band's body of work might soon sell for a staggering sum.

The band is reportedly in the early stages, which could include everything from their 1973 self-titled debut through their 1995 album, "Made in Heaven," Queen's15th and final album following the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991.

Duran Duran, the British band who led the New Romantic movement in the 1980s, are to reunite with guitarist Andy Taylor for a new project.

The band said Taylor, who was diagnosed with stage four metastatic prostate cancer last year, would join them "for a few tracks."

Britain's Royal Mint has issued its first commemorative coin featuring a British rock group, in a tribute to the late Freddie Mercury and the three other band members of Queen.
